Chapter 395: Twin Towers

   "Damn, isn't it? Too unambitious, right?"

  

   When the second half of the game restarted, everyone saw that Atletico Madrid still used the tactics of the last half hour of the first half and retreated to his own half to guard against death. Yang Huan complained with a wry smile.

  

Atletico Madrid gave up Thiago in this game, arranging two defensive players to act as a double midfielder. It is a bit defensive in itself, but if Simeone still has a bit of ambition after the opening and wants to score a goal, Then he looked too slapped now, and just shrank up and guarded.

  

   The feeling is like a tortoise with its head retracted into the shell, laughing at you in it, if you have the ability, you come and hit me!

  

   One to zero is the most unstable score, especially in such a major final.

  

   Southampton is firmly in control of the game's initiative, but in the face of Atletico Madrid's almost iron-clad defense, the Saints did not get another chance to score.

  

   Ibrahimović’s goal kept Southampton’s lead to the present.

  

"Atletico Madrid's entire tactical formation has now become a standard four-four-two. Both wing players have retreated to the position of full-back and actively participated in the defense. Falcao is still at the forefront, containing Southampton's two teams. Famous midfielder!"

  

"Mario Suarez and Gaby are basically covering the front of the penalty area. They retreat very deep and will not lose their positions casually. The entire defensive formation is very tight. It is difficult for Southampton to effectively pass the ball in, even Create a threat!"

  

  Platini is introducing the current situation on the court.

  

   This set of tactics is simply the iconic tactic of Atletico Madrid.

  

   I don't know how many top European teams have died in this tactic. Southampton will not be able to find an effective way to defeat Atletico Madrid for a while.

  

   "Actually, Simeone's tactics are very suitable for Atletico Madrid players. Without outstanding personal ability, then I will choose what is in my favor, give play to my tactical execution advantage, and force you into a fight."

  

   "Once you are caught in a close fight, even if you are Messi, it will be difficult for you to exert your full strength."

  

   Yang Huan feels that Platini's analysis is still very reliable, but Southampton has nothing to do with it.

  

   Not to mention Southampton, even Barcelona, ​​encountering this kind of tactics is a headache.

  

   What's more, Barcelona's ability to create opportunities, the personal ability of the players, is much higher than that of Southampton.

  

   "Now, Simeone is waiting. When Southampton can't hold on anymore, there are mistakes and flaws, Atletico Madrid will seize the opportunity to counterattack and score!"

  

  In any game, there are bound to be various mistakes and flaws against both sides, and everyone is inevitable.

  

   As long as Southampton reveals a flaw, Atletico Madrid seizes an opportunity and the score equalizes.

  

   Especially considering that Atletico Madrid is now retreating to its own half, forcing Southampton to press up.

  

   This kind of situation, as long as it can be defended, is quite beneficial to the counterattack.

  

   The game has been going on, it seems very fierce, but a bit dull.

  

   It seems that the two sides are stuck in a ball, and they are inseparable. It has become a kind of chaos, but it can't create opportunities.

  

   Yang Huan couldn't help but swept down the stands. Bielsa squatted on the sidelines of the Southampton coach's bench, watching the game on the court, occasionally holding up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

  

   This action made people notice that he was not a statue.

  

   But what is he thinking about "the dream has set sail☆the elegant anger"?

  

   Is there a way to crack Simeone’s defensive system?

  

  …………

  

  …………

  

  In the coaching seat in Southampton, Martin Hunter is quickly tapping the virtual keyboard on the tablet computer, communicating the analysis results during the game with colleagues in a multimedia office in the National Stadium.

  

   One report, one data is transferred to the tablet, after software analysis, presented in front of Martin Hunter.

  

   Soon, Martin Hunter got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines.

  

   "Marcelo!"

  

   Martin Hunter squatted down in front of Bielsa and handed out the tablet in his hand.

  

   "Look, we have been too obsessed with the middle in the past five minutes. This is obviously what Atletico Madrid wants us to do!"

  

   Bielsa took over the tablet and glanced at the game data in the past five minutes above, which was transformed into graphs, showing very clearly what happened on the game field.

  

   Combined with the impression in his mind, Bielsa knew that the data was correct!

  

   Aside from the so-called percentages, the so-called statistics, the real reason is that Southampton's offense lacks breadth.

  

   Atletico Madrid guards against the dead, wishing Southampton fight them.

  

   Two Southampton wide players both cut inside. To create width, the full-backs must go forward.

  

   But Atletico Madrid’s Turan and Adrian both did a very good defensive wing, which made Southampton’s wing failed.

  

   This is why Bielsa wants to introduce Gareth Bale.

  

   Neymar and Hames Rodriguez are all players who take the ball and lack an impactful breakthrough on the wing.

  

   Once the opponent is like Simeone and guards against it, there are really not many ways in Southampton.

  

   Bielsa looked at the chart on the tablet again, switched to the data interface of Southampton players, and then looked at the data interface of the two teams. After thinking about it, he still made a decision.

  

   "Let Drogba go to warm up!"

  

   "Drogba?" Martin Hunt was taken aback.

  

   Are you going to replace Ibrahimovic?

  

   This is the team's scoring hero, one person suppressed the two Atletico Madrid central defenders.

  

   Take him down now?

  

   Did you make a mistake?

  

   Not only Martin Hunter, almost everyone, when they saw Drogba, who was warming up, standing on the sidelines, waiting to play, was surprised and even a little unbelievable.

  

   "Is it because Ibrahimović was injured?" Charlene Laheri was puzzled when she explained.

  

   But soon, the result of the substitution came out.

  

  Drogba replaced James Rodriguez!

  

This is how the same thing?

  

   "Two of the world's top centers are actually playing at the same time?" Charlene Laheri was shocked.

  

   This is never before in Southampton!

  

   They played for Southampton for a season, but they never played together!

  

   But now, more than 30 minutes before the end of the game, Bielsa replaced Drogba on the field?

  

   Is it the appeal of the fans for a season that played a role?

  

   The live TV footage swept Simeone, and the tough Argentine guy was obviously taken aback.

  

   These two centers play at the same time, can they be compatible?

  

   This should be everyone's doubts.

  

   But soon everyone discovered that Southampton's tactics seemed to have changed.

  

   After Ibrahimovic and Drogba started at the same time, the two centers both occupied the center, but there seemed to be a tacit understanding.

  

   That is, one of the two is always in the restricted area and the other outside the restricted area.

  

   Very interesting changes have also taken place in the backcourt.

  

   Neymar's position returned from the left to the center, cruising behind and around the two centers.

  

  Stroman, Tony Cross and Vidal all moved back, but the two full-backs, Alaba and Carvajal, both moved forward more aggressively.

  

   In this way, Southampton's tactics are a bit like four, three, one, two.

  

   Yang Huan saw this change in the stands and couldn't help laughing.

  

   "Two of the world's top high centers are playing at the same time. This is the Twin Towers!"

  

  Platini was also amazed. If the two centers work well together, how can Atletico Madrid's defense be blocked?

  

   Bielsa’s current attitude is clearly to tell Simeone.

  

  Okay, if you retreat, if you have the ability to retreat, I will attack to death!

  

   Don’t you like to go back to the half, back to the penalty area?

  

   Then I will put the most threatening Acrobatics in your forbidden zone, I see how you can defend it!

  

   I have to say, Bielsa played this hand beautifully, but more importantly, Southampton has such resources!

  

   Looking at the world, even the top giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​who can afford the world's top centers, Ibrahimovic and Drogba?

  

   Okay, now Simeone should have a headache!

  

  Southampton soon launched another offense.

  

   This time it was an offensive from the right. Because there were three midfielders behind, Carvajal rushed to the frontcourt very decisively, "Dream has set sail☆Elegant Fury" and actively participated in the frontcourt attack.

  

   Drogba ran to the upper right corner of the Atletico Madrid penalty area to meet him, and Neymar also ran over.

  

   Carvajal saw Drogba coming and immediately passed the ball to Drogba.

  

   Miranda behind him, Drogba has no choice but to make a wall and pass it to Neymar.

  

   Neymar tried to dribble the ball inward, but failed, then knocked back to the right, or gave Carvajal.

  

   Carvajal held the ball and saw Atletico Madrid left-back Felipe forcing himself, and immediately passed the ball to Drogba.

  

   This time the Atletico Madrid players are depressed!

  

   You shit, can you stop passing it to Drogba?

  

   Know that you have a high center forward, know that Drogba is unparalleled in the ability to do walls, but can you stop passing like this?

  

   Gaby immediately shook off Neymar and ran towards Drogba, trying to interfere.

  

   But Neymar was very smart and immediately ran to the neutral position.

  

   Drogba used his body to firmly suppress Miranda and protect the ball. He saw Neymar running into the gap and immediately rushed ahead of Gaby and passed the ball to Neymar.

  

   Philippe was taken aback, and immediately rushed towards Neymar.

  

   But at this moment, Neymar suddenly passed the ball to the baseline.

  

   Carvajal rushed forward quickly and caught up with Neymar's through ball, which was a right-footed pass.

  

   The ball crossed an arc and landed in the penalty area.

  

   but saw Ibrahimovic suddenly rush from the penalty spot towards the goal, and use his body to firmly block Godin to his left.

  

  Poor Godin, he couldn't stop him alive, he felt that the Swedes rushed up, just like a heavy tank, even though he stretched out his hand to grab and pull, he couldn't stop him.

  

   Ibrahimović rushed to the front of the small penalty area, switched to look at the ball's landing spot, and then at Asenjo, the two sides projected a strong and extremely murderous.

  

   Asenjo also stared at Ibrahimovic, he was a little nervous and hesitant.

  

   Do you want to attack?

  

   But soon, he realized that it was too late ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ can only wait for Ibrahimovic to shoot!

  

   This time, which direction will the Swedish center play?

  

   Without waiting for Asenjo to make a decision, Ibrahimovic faced the falling ball, grabbed his right foot, and directly took a volley!

  

   Asenjo flew to make a save, but Ibrahimović’s shot was too tricky, and the Spanish goalkeeper was helpless again. When he made the jump, the ball was already in the net!

  

   "!!!"

  

  While the on-site commentator shouted out the goal, Yang Huan quickly rushed out of his seat, clenching his fist to celebrate.

  

   Twin Towers!

  

   This is Southampton’s nirvana, the Twin Towers!

  

   Bielsa has been rehearsing secretly for a while, and now he comes out!

  

   The two Atletico Madrid centre-backs can deal with those dexterous players in La Liga. Originally, the two teamed up to defend one Ibrahimovic. Although it was difficult, they could barely handle it.

  

   But now, two of the world's strongest centers of the world's best beasts joined forces, and they immediately surrendered!

  

   It's not just them, I believe that any combination of central defenders in the world cannot withstand the impact of these two great beast centers.

  

  They seem to be an unsolvable problem!
